Thermal Conductivity Unit for Heat Physics Lab

This Thermal Conductivity Unit for Heat Physics Lab is designed for studying heat conduction and determining the thermal conductivity of poor conducting materials using the steady-state method. The apparatus enables users to investigate heat transfer through insulating materials by establishing thermal equilibrium and measuring temperature gradients across test specimens. Equipped with a microprocessor-controlled heating system and precision digital temperature sensors, the apparatus provides stable operating conditions and reliable measurements. It is particularly suitable for evaluating the thermal properties of low-conductivity materials such as rubber and bakelite, making it an excellent platform for thermal physics and heat transfer studies.
